Gentle Lena Clare by Stephen Foster Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I'm thinking of sweet Lena Clare
With deep blue eyes and waving hair
Her voice is soft, her face is fair
My gentle Lena Clare

(Chorus)
Gentle Lena Clare
My dear lov'd Lena Clare
Her heart is light
Her eyes are bright
My gentle Lena Clare

(Verse 2)
I love her careless, winning ways
I love her wild and birdlike lays
I love the grass whereon she strays
My gentle Lena Clare

(Chorus)
Gentle Lena Clare
My dear lov'd Lena Clare
Her heart is light
Her eyes are bright
My gentle Lena Clare
(Verse 3)
Her home is in the shady glen
When summer comes I'll seek again
On mountain height and lowland plain
My gentle Lena Clare

(Chorus)
Gentle Lena Clare
My dear lov'd Lena Clare
Her heart is light
Her eyes are bright
My gentle Lena Clare
